As stated above, this is a CT meter socket. Think like your clamp on voltmeter to check amps. You are not physically breaking the wire when the meter is pulled. You will have to install a disconnect switch if you feel the need at the metering point. As stated before, there should likely be a...

I find myself trying to come up with scenarios where I "need" to get a diesel heater,

I don't know if a large propane tank is an option? As a power company employee, I would look into a gas fireplace with a modest sized dual fuel generator. Getting a huge generator will burn through a ton of fuel. Natural gas may also be an option with a tri-fuel generator. All electric is nice...
